South Carolina Question And Answer:
Cassandra: I have my license in Mass and I’m going to be moving to SC, I have had my license for 2 years and I have been working full time for a year and a half since then. I just wanted to know what I’m going to have to do to do hair there.
Answer: This is South Carolina’s application for reciprocity Since you have been working that means that you have experience that will makeup for the 500 hour difference in courses.
South Carolina says:If an applicant for a cosmetology license from another state, territory, or the District of Columbia has completed less than the required one thousand five hundred hours (1,500) of training, the Board may give credit of three hundred hours (300) for every six (6) months of proven work experience with a maximum credit of one thousand (1000) hours.
Besides getting in touch with your state board and having your license certification sent to South Carolina you would also need the place you work to sign an affidavit of your working hours and sent also. I would shoot them an e-mail to make sure of all requirements that are needed in the affidavit or if they have a special form that your employer needs to fill out.
